Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

6 a.m.

When the red color of the city had just faded, X was already standing in the backyard of Zhao Chen's house. He stayed there for several hours and found nothing unusual. After a while, Zhao Chen opened the door and X walked in.

"Mr. Zorn, let's go to the basement to talk."

X nodded, followed Zhao Chen into the basement, and went to see a full wallet card, put it neatly in the plastic cover.

"How much do you need Mr. Zorn this time?"

"Eight hundred are needed."

Zhao Chen's expression tightened and he smiled.

"What, is there a problem?"

As soon as Zhao Chen arrived at the company in the past few days, he would be called to the storage room by the people from Section 2 to conduct on-site drills, including explanations of various details. Zhao Chen also studied and practiced seriously.

"In the past few days, Section 5 came to our door from time to time. There was a problem with the user of a card we applied for, and his account was frozen."

X looked at Zhao Chen doubtfully.

"Why didn't you say this earlier?"

Zhao Chen explained hurriedly.

"I only found out about it yesterday. I have been busy with other business recently."

When Then he came to ask.

Because Zhao Chen's company is a formal and legal company in the investment and financial management category, after handing over some of the user's past investment and financial management records, the Business Department did not investigate anything further.

After hearing this,

"What I'm worried about is that if these wallet card transactions go through and the other party launders money quickly, there may be certain problems."

Zhao Chen said, and X nodded. After all, the city is in such a state now, but soon X started laughing.

"There is no need to worry about this problem at all. You can see the situation at the bottom now."

Zhao Chen said as he started to take down the cards one by one from the wall, and soon a suitcase was filled. After X got the cards, he was about to leave, at this time Zhao Chen said.

"Mr. Zorn, I think it's better for you to be careful. I heard that you went to find the one-eyed fox."

X looked at Zhao Chen suspiciously.

"This is what the little brother over at One-Eyed Fox told me."

X nodded.

"What did you say?"

"One-Eyed Fox and the others seem to be planning a large-scale whitewash. This is considered insider information. I'm wondering whether to transfer these funds. After all, they plan to invest in the Agriculture Department."

X laughed.

"It is indeed a good opportunity, but we have to take another look. After all, no one can guarantee that this plan will be 100% successful."

After seeing Zorn leaving, Zhao Chen immediately took out a communicator and pressed one of the buttons. After breakfast, Zhao Chen went to work as usual.

X quietly stared at Zhao Chen nearby, and did not leave until he saw Zhao Chen return to the company, enter the office, and start working.

This is what

In the past, after someone was caught, he was already an undercover agent of the business department. That was many years ago, when he was investigating a case, X was following him like this, and then he discovered that the trader had an affair with the business department, and they immediately broke it off. All connections, so in the end, the acting department failed to find the shadow named Zorn.

X is now considering the investment of One-Eyed Fox. He probably guessed why Jin was looking for One-Eyed Fox after he left that night. The city is different from the past, and there will be no room for gang members to survive in the future.

Therefore, the one-eyed fox will definitely consider how to clear his gang's name. X feels that this is also an opportunity to transfer more of his assets to the sun.

"Let's talk to the one-eyed fox in a few days."

9 a.m.

After Zhao Chen completed some work as usual, he went to the bathroom and then entered the storage room.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, Mr. Zhao Chen."

Lilian smiled. Zhao Chen hurriedly took off his coat and took out a hidden camera device. After Lilian took it, the picture came out quickly, and the people in Section 2 began to analyze it.

Lilian also noticed that this man was quite strange, because he didn't have any facial expressions, just like a corpse, and he always had his hands in his pockets. Although he had reached out his hands, it might have confirmed Mo Xiaolan's suspicion that this guy The body is not human.

Sure enough, the 2nd Section personnel who secretly entered the basement of Zhao Chen's house to collect fingerprints and other DNA information soon sent a report. They found no biological traces of Zorn, only some metal ions.

After confirming everything for the second time, Lilian laughed. The next step was to find a way to know where Zorn was going to trade. Although she really wanted Zhao Chen to ask, such a question would definitely attract Zorn's attention. Zorn should have some sort of optical camouflage on his body, so it would be almost impossible to track him.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Zhao Chen."

"Lady Lilian, I want to ask you something."

Lilian looked at Zorn who looked worried.

"How many years will I go to jail?"

Lillian said with a smile.

"Don't worry, it won't be more than 20 years, I promise."

Zhao Chen breathed a sigh of relief. This result was not bad. If he was imprisoned for less than 20 years, Zhao Chen should be eligible for parole after staying in prison for about ten years.

After Lillian left Zhao Chen's company, she immediately started investigating. She went directly to the 19th District Public Security Office where black marketeers were detained.

At present, many black market personnel have confessed a large number of criminal facts, and a total of nearly 200 people have been gathered.

When Lilian entered, many people looked solemn, because many people were very scared. It would be okay if it was only Section 5. Once Section 2 was involved, the matter would become serious. They were still waiting for the people from Section 5 to conduct a detailed investigation. , submitted evidence to the Law Hall and accepted trial.

"I want to ask all of you, do you know Zorn?"

Lilian asked, and many people below said they had heard or seen it, because Zorn was originally a black market businessman, and many of the things they explained were already known to the business department.

"Recently we got news that someone holds a large amount of light and shadow substances, and Zorn wants to buy this batch of light and shadow substances. If any of you know who holds it, you can be exempted from prison life."

Many people were whispering among themselves for a while, but many people said they didn't know, because the black market dealers who possessed light and shadow substances were among them, and several of them with relatively large amounts were already in prison.

"I ask one last time, does anyone know, and if no one knows, I'm leaving."

Lilian said, and many people became quiet and looked at each other in confusion. At this time, a small hand was raised, and Lilian laughed happily.

"Miss, if you knew, why didn't you tell me in the first place?"

The person raising her hand was a woman named Lisa. She used to be a department head of a technology company. She once colluded with her technical staff to resell the company's light and shadow materials.

Soon Lillian brought Lisa to the interrogation room. She shook her head, looking a little nervous, and Lillian put down a cup of coffee.

"Don't be so nervous, miss. Just relax."

Lisa nodded.

"Lady Lilian, I only have a little impression, but maybe I remember it wrong."

Lilian walked over and sat down, then motioned to the person in Section 2 next to her to start recording.

Lisa also started talking. It was her second year as the director of the technical department. Although the salary was high, the expenses were also high. In addition, she and her husband bought a house and gave birth to two children. The burden on the family is relatively heavy, so I came up with the idea of ​​secretly stealing light and shadow materials and reselling them.

During this process, Lisa found five technical staff from the company, and after everyone discussed everything, they started doing this.

Everything went very smoothly and almost nothing was missed in the past five years.

But one time when Lisa was trading in the black market, a man wanted to buy from them. The price the man offered was not high. Of course Lisa refused, but what the man said next made Lisa interested.

The man said he had a way for them to get more light and shadow substances, but they would need some technical help.

Lisa felt that the man was just trying to make excuses, so she ignored him. After that, Lisa saw this man appear on the black market several times, and also asked about what this man said to other colleagues. It was exactly what Lisa thought, he Want clichés.

Because light and shadow matter cannot be restored casually by ordinary people, even if it is stolen and solid matter condensed from light and shadow matter, it will be a pile of waste if it cannot be restored.

This man is not here to buy light and shadow materials at all, but to make excuses. There are many such people in the black market. There are too many people who want to make a fortune from light and shadow materials, but there are very few people who know the reduction technology.

Lisa, like the others, tacitly sells light and shadow substances, and will not tell others about this technology. After all, this is the guy who everyone eats.

After that, the man disappeared from the black market. At this point, Lilian looked at Lisa in confusion and asked.

"Why do you think this man holds a large amount of light and shadow matter?"

"Now that I think about it carefully, that man's eyes were blazing. He wanted to find a technician who could restore light and shadow matter. He was responsible for getting the light and shadow matter into a state, and the technician was responsible for restoring it. It may be true. "

Lilian asked after thinking for a while.

"Do you feel it?"

"Now that I think about it, that man may have really been able to obtain a large amount of light and shadow matter, so he was so anxious to find technical personnel to cooperate, because it was obvious that he was quite enthusiastic."

Lillian laughed.

"So do you remember which of your colleagues he talked to before?"

"Two of them I remember died in previous bombings, and a few others should have entered prison."

Lisa told her colleagues one by one based on her memories, and then Lillian found a face painter from Section 2 to ask Lisa to recall what this man looked like.

Lisa recalled that there were three colleagues who had been in contact with the man, and then Lillian called Zhou Xuan directly.

"I know Lilian, I will send someone to bring these three people here, it will only take 20 minutes at most."

Lilian stood outside the interrogation room, looking at Lisa who was pressing her forehead and trying to remember. The reason why Zorn was not arrested immediately was because this black market trader was very likely to be a member of the rioters because he possessed a large number of light and shadow weapons. Materials, but people who don't take action, either the price is not suitable, or there are other uses.

Zorn's situation is even more complicated. Records of Zorn have been found in some past materials. He is indeed a black market trader. Many black market traders know Zorn, but they don't know where he comes from. , everything about him is blank.

Mo Xiaolan deduced that Zorn might not be a rioter, so the arrest must be done with caution.

After a while, three black market traders who had been selling in the past were brought over. Lilian directly asked about the three of them. One of the three remembered that there was indeed such a person five years ago.

I wanted to cooperate with him, but was rejected by him because I couldn't trust them. Although there were many such people in the past, most of them were self-aware. Then the other two people began to recall, and there was indeed such a person in their memory.

Lillian called three painters respectively, and then asked them to recall their memories.

By 12 noon, four portraits had been drawn, four different people, but one characteristic was obvious. This guy was very young, had a high nose, and pockmarks on his face.

Lilian immediately entered the portraits directly into the AI ​​system and started checking them. After a while, the AI ​​listed many people.

There were 119 people who met these characteristics. Lilian looked at them one by one, gathered the four people together, and began to look at the photos for them one by one. Fortunately, it has only been 5 years, and people's memories are still there. Certain residue.

When they see anyone who is suspicious, the four people will speak up, and then Lilian will keep it. After a round of investigation, there are 38 people left.

"That's enough. Thank you for your cooperation."

Lillian didn't let them read it a second time, because the first impression was usually the most accurate, and there would be deviations if they read it again.

Now she can take a gamble and see if among these 38 people, there is really a black marketeer who holds a large amount of light and shadow substances. At this time, Lilian saw the information of a person, Zhou Yang, a councilor in District 55. Just turned 40 this year.

"Quite young."

There were no dark spots on Zhou Yang's face. Lillian wanted to exclude this congressman. After all, he had become a congressman, and the teacher was a gold standard member who had served in the congressman circles for many years. The suspicion should be the least, but the next moment Lillian laughed. got up.

"You know people, but you don't know their hearts. It's better to investigate."

Lilian then showed Zhou Yang's photo to four people, and all four seemed to remember something.

"It seems that I have seen this person before, it seems to be him before."

Lillian laughed.

"We will investigate. You can go back and rest."

Lisa stood up hurriedly, as if she wanted to ask, Lillian answered.

"Don't worry, Miss Lisa, what I said will come true."
